Yes, while they are not anthro, this little scene goes along with the sad Sunset Shimmer picture done prior, and no, they are not a couple…at least in current times! In this new little addon, Pickles and Sunset did date for a little while, up until her eventual vanishing through the mirror to the otherside! Having spent weeks looking for her with no luck, Pickles eventually had to move on, and that brings in everything else, etc, etc….I really add in too much story some times. Ah well XD
Despite having moved on, when she returns to their world, he is eventual able to show her he never DID forget. Just because the hearts aren't in love doesn't mean they can't still be friends :D
